Looking for an inexpensive way to commute to work, travel about town or even tool around camp? A 50cc scooter may be just right for you.
In addition to impressive fuel savings, these mopeds are cheap to maintain, carry low insurance costs and can be parked just about anywhere.
Depending upon your state and local laws, there may very well be no requirement for having a motorcycle license. Be sure to check all applicable laws and regulations before making your final decision.
Here are some things to look for when buying a 50cc scooter:
*Price – You are sure to like the price tag found on mopeds compared to larger scooter models or motorcycles. They are becoming the vehicle of choice for many urban commuters or those not planning to ride on the open road.
*Automatic Shifting – Small scooters are easy to learn to ride and a smooth CVT automatic transmission is one of the reasons why. This makes them ideal for teens and adults of all ages, especially seniors.
*Gas Mileage – This is, of course, one of the greatest selling points for a 50cc scooter. Most models will get more than 85mpg, a real boost for your pocketbook.
*Storage – You can expect great storage capabilities with most mopeds – under-seat space and rear trunks are standard on many models. Some models also come with glove boxes for additional storage. Mopeds are great for quick trips to the market.
*Accessories – Many scooter owners enjoy spicing up their “wheels” with neat accessories such as racks, mirrors, windshields, chrome cowl protectors, protective covers and other fun items. It can be part of the “coolness” of riding a scooter.
*Model Size – As with any powersports purchase, make sure you have the right seat height, appropriate features and engine size for your specific needs.
*Gear – Even though your moped is not designed for high speeds, it is still important to make sure you have the proper safety gear, such as helmet, goggles, gloves, long pants, long-sleeved shirt and over-the-ankle boots.
*Maintenance – The overall cost of maintenance is a big plus for mopeds, but basics still are to be followed, such as making sure you change the oil regularly and keep the battery charged.
